DSHelm is maintained as an open technical community. Participation is welcome regardless of background, employer, geography, experience level, or preferred model/provider.
- Discuss technical claims with reproducible evidence where possible.
- Critique ideas, code, benchmarks, and design decisions without attacking people.
- Respect different environments, providers, operating systems, and workflows.
- Keep issues and pull requests scoped enough that another contributor can understand and verify them.
- Protect credentials, private paths, account information, and other sensitive data when sharing logs or traces.
Harassment, discrimination, personal attacks, threats, deliberate disruption, doxxing, publishing secrets, or repeatedly ignoring maintainer moderation are not acceptable in project spaces.
This policy applies to the repository, Issues, Pull Requests, Discussions, and other spaces used to represent or coordinate DSHelm work.
Maintainers may edit, hide, lock, or remove content and may restrict participation when necessary to protect contributors or keep technical discussion productive. For sensitive conduct reports, contact the maintainer through a private channel listed on the maintainer's GitHub profile rather than posting personal details publicly.
This policy is informed by common open-source community standards, including the Contributor Covenant, while remaining specific to DSHelm's technical collaboration needs.
